Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi accused Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Gaurav Gogoi of peddling lies after the Opposition leaders accused the government of ending the Monsoon Session four days ahead of schedule.
“Opposition leaders @Jairam_Ramesh & @GauravGogoiAsm peddled some lies at a Press Conference. #MonsoonSession was not adjourned 4 days in advance, as is being claimed but only 2 days ahead of schedule. This decision was taken on the request of MPs including those from Opposition,” Mr. Joshi said in a series of tweets.
“Opposition’s propaganda is discussion but agenda is disruption and boycott. They could have raised any issue through calling attention, Rule 377, zero hour & question hour, etc. But they walked away during discussion on Price rise which they were demanding since the beginning,” he added.
